What japan teenagers do in their free time?

The girls go out to the shopping, have lunch with friends, shop, and visit places. The groups in

general are not very large, but two or three girls. Unlike, perhaps, from other countries, where

teens gather in larger groups.

Teens, like everyone else, create and follow fashions for dressing and acting. Japan is a traditional

country, but young people know how to combine and create new fashions, such as dressing up

with things related to cats or kawaii or Lolita fashion.

It is also common, in summer, to see young women wearing their yukata, a kind of kimono that is

worn in this hot season.

The most common activities are: karaoke, purikura, shopping, online games and a lot of use of

technology and social networks.

Purikura is a type of retouched photos that are collectibles; their social networks are Instagram

and snow.

Young people spend 240 days a year in schools, much more than in other countries. Moreover,

teenagers, particularly those who want to enter a good university or have school problems, attend

the well-known juku. Juku are schools that offer private classes on the subject that the student

needs.
